Mind the Gap!

This photo was taken on Breanna's sixth birthday - just love the missing teeth grin! :))

This page came together really quickly with Cocoa Vanilla's Free Spirit range (available from The Paper Teapot here)- so many gorgeous bits and pieces to work with. I added some WOW chipboard, a Doodlebug doily, some Typo wood veneers and washi, and a Heidi Swapp word.

I still felt it needed something else so I swished on some Bo Bunny Glitter paste and outlined the circles with Kindyglitz.

It's a Good Day

Look at the size of these ice creams - they're a whole meal!

This was a stop at Darfield on the way out to a picnic in Glentunnel. We had been to this shop before, and we'll definitely be back again!

Another Cocoa Vanilla layout - hmm there seems to be a trend emerging - this time using the Life is Beautiful collection. Most of the collection is still available from The Paper Teapot here.

The only additions to that was the Silhouette cut file, and a hand dyed doily.

Make it Click!

Breanna first got involved with Ronald McDonald through her friend Laura and Dance teacher Hayley.

Initially she danced with them at the Teddy Bears Picnic for Summertimes, and then later in the year, Ronald was invited to the Queenspark school fair where a select few performed the Make it Click song and dance. Shiloh also joined in for this one as did Laura's little sister Brooke, Kennedy Moore and Rosie Griffioen.

I used up some October Afternoon paper, washi  and flair that I had in my stash for a while, plus two of my fave Tim Holtz stencils, a Freckled Fawn arrow, Mister Huey's mists, and a Maya Road camera clip.

Together

This is another of the series of photos I took of Shiloh and her friend Shannon when we went to the Botanic Gardens a few months ago.

I love seeing the daffodils blooming - it means Spring is really here!

Yet another Cocoa Vanilla page - this is with the Life is Beautiful collection (available at The Paper Teapot), the extras are the little handmade doily flower, some flowers from The Paper Teapot,a paper doily, title from Heidi Swapp, and a bit of thread.

Having  the full collection to mix and match makes pages come together super easy!

Hello SunShine

Another page in mainly using the Hello Sunshine collection from Cocoa Vanilla - it's just so great for these sort of days!

This was just a hot summer day with nothing better to do - so I took the Shiloh and her friend Shanae out to the lake at Pegasus for a dip.

As well as the Cocoa Vanilla papers, flowers, puffy stickers, diecuts, wood veneers, and flair which are available at The Paper Teapot here, I also used a Heidi Swapp stamp, Doodlebug doily, Freckled Fawn arrow and an Amy Tan enamel heart. The hashtag and heart diecuts are from Kaisercraft.

As it I write this it's piddling down outside - just the right sort of weather to scrap sunny days!

Hope you like it - please share and comment if you do :)

Steampunk HQ

While we were away down south in the middle of 2015, we stopped for a look at the Steampunk Museum in Oamaru. I'd heard such good things, and they were all true! Jenna came down with us, it was great to have her there too, she and Shiloh may not see each other for ages but they facetime each other most weekends still and can't wait to each other when they can.

This page was made using Kaisercraft's Time Machine collection - it suited the theme perfectly!

I also used some Kaisercraft texture stamps with paint, Prima wood veneers, flair and Mica flakes. The little frame has been in my stash for so may years I've no idea where it came from!
